the strength of the Democratic members of

the Republican members" The Republi-
can minority will be much weaker in this
Congress than in the last. Messrs. Hiscock

lican minority of the committee. Mr.. His
cock goes to the Senate Mr.. Reed will
probably be transferred to the Judiciary

The Banks In California.

The annual report OF the Bank Commits
sioners of California was received yesterday
and placed ON file. 1t shows that there are
at present in the State SO commercial
banks, "a savings banks and 5 branches of
foreign banking houses, an increase since
last year of IS. The increase in capital is
S2,164S7S. The increase in deposits in the
banks of California of all kinds is between
SIS. goo and $50, 600. The amount of money
on hand in all banks July 1st was $23 1877
952 40. The amount deposited in the
banks at the same date was $146, Ill .433 81,
showing that more than S123 600 900 was
in circulation on that date. The resources
OF the % national banks of the State July
LIST were SIS 1926. and their deposits
amounted to $4,000 1884, 1t is also shown
by the report that nearly all of the north
ern banks handle only gold coin. and the
southern banks 70 per cent. currency.

is as was anticipated, for while the bid of
the California builders is somewhat above
that of their Eastern competitors, the
former bid for but one of the new ships,
and claimed it under the Act of Congress
which directed that one of the ships should
be constructed in California, if the bid
from this State was not excessively greater
than that of Eastern contractors Under
this direction the Federal Executive holds
that $4,000 is not excessively larger than
the amount for which the cruiser could be
built upon the Atlantic side, and the
ruling will certainly be justified by the
result. The California builders may not
expect to turn out the better of the two
ships, but they certainly will not allow
that of the other side to be superior.

Mormon Church, has appeared in the per-

his spiritual wives, who contracted that if
she bore son he should be recognized as
the successor of the "seer and prophet,
The probabilities are that the story is
purely sensational; but if true, the day
has passed when it would possess any
special significance. 1t is no more mat
ter of concern who is recognized as the
head of the Mormon hierarchy. The
Church leadership died with Brigham
Ioung-a man of most remarkable powers,
and who fiourished in time when fanat-
ical and blind obedience favored an
arbitrary rule and unquestioning loyalty
to the Church authorities. No contest
over the Presidency of Mormor.dom will
excite now much interest in the country.
and not little of that among Mormons
that would have been manifest twenty
years ago. Union with the world BY com
mercial bonds, the influence of the influx
of Gentiles into Utah, the assaults of the
law and the revelation to the Mormons
that the Lord has not, as they have been
taught to believe, upheld the hands of
their chieftains against the hosts of the
Gentle world-all these have weakened
the Mormon power and lessened the
strength of its hold upon its following.

HOP PRODUCTION.
The Army of Pickers Nearly Recruited
The Hop-Growing Counties.

The Hop-Growing Counties.
The hop-growers of this vicinity are en-
ergetically engaged in procuring forces to
gather their crops, and are securing salts
factory number of hands. In many in
stances the Chinese have accepted the sit
uation" and the last years rate of pay
ment as well. A few have been engaged
at a little higher figure. Many white men,
women and boys are also going into the
field, satisfied that the wages are reasona-

book-keeper, has gone over TO Nevada to

Next week the picking will commence in

and for the ensuing month the man who
complains that he cannot find work, and is
driven TO beg a little assistance" should
be treated as vagrant and turned over to
the police.
The Bulletin of last evening, in an
article on the hop business, gives the fol-
lowing figures The nineteen counties
of California embraced in the op-produc-
ing region are as follows: Alameda,
Los Angeles, Mendocino, MERGED, Napa,
Sacramento, San Joaquin, San Mateo,
Santa Cruz, Shasta, Sonoma, Suffer, Yolo
and Yuba. To Sacramento county must
be awarded the credit of being the greatest
producer. In 1886 the total acreage de-
voted to hop culture was 1,249 acres, pro-
ducing 10,150 bales, and the yield being
about $50 pounds per acre. This year the
estimated acreage is 1,4SS, crop II ,265
bales, with 1,400 pounds to the acre.
Mendocino in 1856 claimed 9S2 acres,
5,544 bales and 1130 pounds per acre. For
the year 1887 1,270 acres, GIFTS bales and
900 pounds per acre. Sonoma county in
1886 claimed $50 acres, 3073 bales and $40
pounds per acre. In 1887. Sonoma claims
937 acres, producing 4,S12 bales and $50
pounds per acre. Yolo in 1886, 275 acres,
., $40 bales and 1870 pounds per acre
while in 1887 there is estimated to be 300
acres, $500 bales and 1,500 pounds per
acre. Alameda in 1886 returned 134 acres,
563 bales and 7S0 pounds to the acre; in
1887 the returns are $50 acres, 622 bales
and TO pounds to the acre. Caaveras
county appears to be the least productive
of all The total number of acres devoted
TO hops in that county in 1856 was acres,
with a production of Is bales and 500
pounds to the acre. For 1887 the figures
are acres, 20 bales and 740 pounds to the
acre. A bale of hops averages all the way
from 1876 to 30 pounds.

A CHANGE DEMANDED.
Lady Clerks Ought Not to be Compelled

The Calling Gun is an outgrowth of
boyish attempt on the part of the inventor
to construct a corn-planter. 1t is now
grave planter. Those merchants and 9TH
ers who compel their girl help to stand all
day could be classed with it as grave plant
ers, as they kill more even than the famous
gun. The requirement, so common in
mercantile establishments, that clerks
should remain standing during business
hours, is terribly hard upon both sexes but
especially on delicate girls. A lady in Vir-
ginia writes the following experience Il
have been suffering from whites all the
time hardly missing day. 1 could not

He is all wrong in his denunciation as
"ludierous and absurd of the claim for
restriction of immigration. 1t is not simply
the demand of a few outspoken ones, but
the sentiment of the mass of the American
people, that new limitations must be ap-
piled that the millions are net needed
from abroad, and that at least we must ex-
ercise the right to "pick and choose" 1t
testifies to the extent to which his priestly
habit has withdrawn him from the world,
that he misunderstands the sentiment de-
handing the exclusion of certain classes.
Its spirit is protective in origin and design,
and partakes in no degree of hatred of any
class because of nationality or faith. Nor
is it creditable to the intelligence of DIR.
McGlynn that he does not realize that the
nation has cut loose from the dogma that
this land is refuge for the oppressed Of
all nations. 1t reveals his misconception
of the purpose of the building of the
nation, when he holds that the architects
err in rejecting any offered material.
So far as his fears of ecclesiastical en-
croachmchts are concerned, he has not
made new revelations since it has ever
been the policy of medieval ecclesiasticism
to trench upon and challenge the civil
power. The primary -Nothingism
was a spasmodic protest without sufficient
cause, and cannot be said to have been a
war against foreigners per Sc, but because
its promoters saw no other than sweep
ing method open for adoption. The pres
ent demand for restriction of immigration,
We repeat, has no antagonism to faith in
it. DIR. McGlynn and his followers may
indulge in sneers at the movement, but for
all that it is neither ridiculous nor
ephemeral The doctrine is to be of the
grain of the American sentiment for all
the future, that having the right we will
exclude from our family all we deem I'M
likely to contribute to its welfare. The
encroachments of the ecclesiasticism DR..
McGlynn charges, and the "avowed" aim
of foreign leaders to make their tongue the
language Of large portions of the country
and their alleged openly expressed con-
tempt for Americans, We think can be
safely left to the American spirit, which
has not yet proved unequal to any emer-
gency, or untrue to the suhstructural prin-
ciples Of free government, to tolerance or
to religious liberty. When any church,
Roman or other, plainly shows its hand
in any attempt to subvert republican insti-
buttons, DIR. McGlynn, if still in being,
will be surprised at the incapacity of the
assailants, and the giant strength of
Americanism. 1t is neither sleeping, I'M
aware Of antagonistic influences, nor fear
full concerning them.

THE activity manifested in the Improve
ment Association on the subject of irriga-
ton gives promise of some achievement of
practical nature in the near future 1t
appears that we have in Sacramento county
225,000 acres of land, which, with irriga-
ton, will open up to this section mine of
inexhaustible wealth. We have the water
in plenty, land that needs it, and it only
lacks little energy and some capital to
bring the two together, and make vast
acreages, now half developed or not at all
utilized, blossom as the rose. We believe
the public spirit of Sacramento county will
provide the two requisites.
